Topic: State Duals 2018-19 (Read 5277 times)

Idea looks great!December date is awesome, location is awesome because about 1/3 of your entries will be from Central Valley. Why worry about making it grow from beginning, create it, if a coach believes his kids can compete they will take the challenge. Top 10-12 teams will figure it out!

1/3 and probably more would come from the ss/sd/la so why not have it down south and or keep it like the first person said. I hate driving up north every time and I’d even go to Sacramento before Clovis. Why not help other schools generate money besides the same Central Valley schools year in and year out???

You might want to bring up to them at the April 23rd meeting that other very competitive high school wrestling states are now repealing their high age statutes to level a fair playing field for athletes and teams. In all honesty, secondarily, it is a safety issue when a 14 year old wrestles a 19 year old. We want a true dual championship.....no hold backs and no transfers get to compete in the dual. Here's an article on New Jersey legislation. No wrestler that is 19 gets to wrestle in the state finals. That will be the end game. This is the most talked about subject outside of who beats who in california wrestling. Hold backs and transfers, hold backs and transfers. The richer programs getting richer. As they recruit and hold back, their rooms get better and the program gets better, then the next year it builds on top of that. It's not an apples to apples state in terms of level playing field. We've got folks that are putting together legislation on this soon. Just thought it would be nice to bring it up to advisory committee first so we don't have to go through all that.....and it will go through. You can copy and paste this article and check out what's going on in New Jersey. http://intermatwrestle.com/articles/14980
